Verizon has confirmed that it will include FaceTime over cellular on all its data plans, reports the WSJ.

All Verizon Wireless customers will be permitted to use the data-intensive application with no additional charges, including those remaining on unlimited data plans, according to a company spokeswoman.

In contrast, AT&T is requiring subscribers to sign up for its data-sharing plans to use FaceTime over cellular. Sprint Nextel Corp. has said it wouldn't place limits on FaceTime use.

Apple is set to launch iOS 6 which will enable the new FaceTime functionality on September 19th.

How does AT&T justify their restriction when their competition has none?

I've never jail broken my phone before. Does it slow down functionality at all?

i think apple did this on purpose just to have enough time to make better "revolutionary" iPhone 6 this is probably a strategy just to surprise us with the "iPhone 6" just stick with apple a little bit longer and see what they can come up with.

AT&T can suck it. I'll use Skype and G+ to video chat before I switch to a shared plan.

That's kinda cool. But in a way, except for sprint, Verizon is in a way doing the same thing AT&T is doing because to get the iPhone 5 u have to upgrade to LTE unless you're already on it. Verizon customers staying with the 4 or 4S on the unlimited plan are the ones making out. You know Verizon announced that to attract new customers. And they know by not charging for it they're going to make money off of it anyways for the people on tiered plans that are gonna use alot of data and possible go over their amount.
